Oak Park Farmers market details

Thanks for keeping us up to date each week on your famers' market...makes me wish I didn't live inconveniently north of it [maybe I'm not a true Chowhound, then...is anything too inconvenient for a Chowhound?] Anyway, I was wondering if you could tell me if someone is selling wildflower seeds there? People from Oak Park used to sell them up in Skokie, but I haven't seen them this summer. I need to perk up the weeds in my yard...how late are people still selling in Oak Park? Thanks!

Chef Theo Friedman meets with one of North Brooklyn Farms' farmers to discuss the chef−produce purveyor relationship, in addition to the importance of seasonality and flavor when developing the menus for his transformative culinary events. In preparation for his Stella Artois dinner party, Chef Theo then visits Union Square Greenmarket to pick out fresh, local ingredients for his end-of-summer celebration.

Summer is in full swing, which (hopefully) means trips to the park or the beach. If you’re taking a picnic along, you should know a few food safety rules so you can pack, transport, and eat your meal without the threat of food poisoning. Liz Weinandy
